School Superintendent Calls Girls "Skanks" for Breaking Dress Code

Some even had to bend over during a dress code check.

The first day back to school can be awkward no matter what. But when an Oklahoma superintendent decided to call out a group of girls for wearing what she called "inappropriate" clothing, it became humiliating.

Students say superintendent Ronda Bass called out several female students at Noble High School for wearing revealing outfits. One student recalls Bass asking, "Have y'all ever seen any skanks around this school? I don't want to see anyone's ass hanging out of their shorts."

Bass responded to those claims, telling KFOR-TV that students from other towns "were calling our girls really negative names … I want us to be known as the classy Lady Bears."

But it gets worse. The superintendent, who proudly calls herself protective "Mama Bear Bass," reportedly followed up at a later date, asking just the girls to stand up during a dress code check. She then asked some of them to bend over because their skirts or dresses were too short. "If you're not comfortable with bending over, we might have a problem," Bass told a local reporter.

Some of the girls say they were left humiliated and crying. But Bass is standing by her actions, reportedly emailing teachers insisting female students were "pushing the limits" of modesty.
